Re: Java in Visual Studio 2005?

Hi Aaron,

I understand now. Sorry I misunderstood your question the first time. I do
not believe Microsoft makes any IDE for working with Java. The Visual Studio
IDE shells out to command-line tools that do the actual work. These
command-line tools are software developed by Microsoft for developing
applications with Microsoft programming technologies. As Java is a Sun
technology, and considering the bad blood that has gone between them over
the years, I doubt that Microsoft will *ever* develop development tools for
creating Java applications.

Yes, I know about J#. My question is whether there's either an assembly
you
can reference that has everything up to JDK 1.5 available for intellisence
(then I can compile with the Java compiler) or if someone actually has
already made a language pack for Java, so you can build, maintain
projects,
and have Java intellisence built in together. I'm developing Java
applications for web pages to be OS independant, so J# isn't directly an
option.

Thanks,

I know that with the release of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK, creating
'languages' seems to be something you can easily do. I know that the
examples they had were making the language IronPython integrated. I was
wondering if anyone's already released any languages like this to the
public yet, or if it's still new... I love the Visual Studio IDE, and
want
to develop all of my projects within it. I specifically want to use it
to
develop Java applications instead of using NetBeans 5.0, which is a very
slow and annoying interface to use. Even without the form editing
support,
I would greatly need this type of tool. If anyone knows of a project
such
as this, or a list of all developed language packs, I'd be very greatful
for that information.

If this doesn't exist yet, has anyone at least made a managed assembly
that you can add to a Visual J# project (it would be the only DLL
referenced) that would have all of the JDK 1.5 objects and classes in
it,
available through intellisence? Even if none of it works, a framework
like
that would be really helpful, for then I would just copy-and-paste code
into NetBeans, and still do most of the work in the Visual Studio IDE.
I
would think someone may have thought of doing this, so does anyone know
if
they have? If not, I think I may do just that if I have time, but I do
hope there's something out there...

Anyway, so if anyone knows anything about Java development in Visual
Studio, please let me know!

Thanks,

PS: Why couldn't Microsoft just have made J# still java, as J++ was?

PS2: Visual Studio 2005 is the BEST IDE out there, which is why I would
not prefer to use anything less. just in case someone says to just get
this, or get that.
